Responsive poem to “I, Too, Sing America”
American Singing
Yes, American singing what to say.
What good is there to sing of anyway?
Students singing of work instead of play the
teachers leaving us with work today. What good is
the American singing of hooray when children must sing
of school instead of play.
I also hear singing, not of cheer but of typing poems to fear.
So how could you hear great singing
With the work teachers to us are bringing?
